Official Nvidia GTX 970 Discussion Thread

[SSOB]

That's not the consumer problem, that's for NVIDIA to deal with the manufacturers. I can list you Consumer Defense organizations in Europe that provide free lawyers.

I don't give a fuck about the future proof - what the hell are you talking about?! I can buy shit to stay on the top of a table gathering dust for all you care. But I bought what was advertised.

If not, then I get refunded.

Btw are you really a product manager, and if so, just out of pure curiosity, where? 

[Majestic]

Nvidia scammed their costumers , now i dont know if it was fucking incompetence or they wanted to lie to customers to sell cards to early adopters.

 

But they fucking scammed them either way.

 

You absolute cretin. ffs.

[Sidiox]

Damn this thread is one big fucking train wreck... Can't we all just get along

[ViruZ_HUN]

the 970 is still a great card but im still angry at nvidia for lying. "its a miss communication between the development team and marketing team" yea sure you expect us to believe that you've been miss communicating for months now. 

yeah:)

 

I can imagine it.

 

 

Marketing team calls the development team: Hi, can you say us how many GBs the 970 can use max?

 

development team: Well max 3.5 GB

 

Marketing team : Aha up to 4 GB, cool

[zappian]

You absolute cretin. ffs.

 

ITs the truth , i have proven it beyond the shadow of doubt.

 

Nvidia has admitted it.

[SteveGrabowski]

Get some balls and the heck with Luka.  Nvidia cheated consumers.  Be mad about it.

 

Don't ruin this for me

[Victorious Secret]

No , listen to me .

The specs are different , the 970 that nvidia promised doesn't exist do you understand?

Oh for fucks sake.

Before launch. Listed as 64. Really had 56. Benchmarks were done, people jizzed their pants over performance.

Now we know it was really 56. Nvidia lists it as 56 now. The same benchmarks still apply, since it's the same fucking card with the same 56 ROPs as before.

You're arguing that they lied on paper. They did. They didn't go back and cut 8 ROPs out after initial benchmarks. The cards only had 56 in the first place.

That's all. They lied on paper about a number. Yet you bastards were still happy to blow your loads over the card when the benches were done. It's still the same card.

Jesus, it's like the SJWs found out they can troll technology forums or something.

[BovinePoptart]

Guys stop arguing, we all know that nvidia has neer failed us and we should just accept that its The way it's mean't to be played™

You do realise that as soon as they issue an apology people can actually start suing them? Cuz if you apologize there must be a reason for it. As long as they don't they stand a better chance in court.

 

But I do think Nvidia is in the wrong here, even though performance is still the same

Okay now i want an apology from nvidia since they are either incompetent or lying bastards.

 

And i want nvidia to do right by their customers.

 

Otherwise they will be sued up their ass by false advertisement.

 

 

False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising, and misrepresentation of the product at hand, which may negatively affect many stakeholders, especially consumers. As advertising has the potential to persuade people into commercial transactions that they might otherwise avoid, many governments around the world use regulations to control false, deceptive or misleading advertising. "Truth" refers to essentially the same concept, that customers have the right to know what they are buying, and that all necessary information should be on the label.

False advertising, in the most blatant of contexts, is illegal in most countries. However, advertisers still find ways to deceive consumers in ways that are legal, or technically illegal but unenforceable.

[Tataffe]

I look at the box. It says 64 ROPs. I buy the card, open it up, look at it and find 56 ROPs.

 

False advertising, no matter the reason, period.

 

And at this point, a have a legal right to get a refund, no matter the actual performance or other differences that this makes.

[zappian]

Gamespot is just clickbaiting with that title. 

 

Fine look what i uncovered from my research:

 

 

Exibit A:

 

The video i linked 

 

Exbith B:

Fake specs at launch:

 

REVISED SPECS after this debacle

 

Original specs:

If you choose to ignore this FACT you are simply a fan boy.

What 970 do you have?

[zappian]

What 970 do you have?

Every single 970 has lower ROPS , l2 cache and memory performance then advertised.

[DeViLzzz]

Yeah, this is just an echochamber for morons.

 

You mad because you are an Nvidia fan boy?  Funny that with my avatar I'd be saying this to someone but I always said that I liked Nvidia more than AMD for video cards but was no fan boy.  I can see when they make mistakes and should have to pay for them.

[zappian]

Yeah, this is just an echochamber for morons.

 

 

Quitting because you cant defend you arguments.

[Trik'Stari]

Signed petition.

 

Hoping for revised edition.

[Razzaa]

No kidding!! Im wondering what box has the ROPS and cache listed on it? I have yet to see a GPU box with that much info about the Specs....

[79wjd]

No , listen to me .

The specs are different , the 970 that nvidia promised doesn't exist do you understand?

So you bought your 970 based on the number of rops it had?

[DeViLzzz]

Not enough complaints on Facebook Nvidia pages that is for sure.  I added a few posts to a few official pages and others need to do it too.
